    Abstract: The apparatus includes means for severing the body of earth contiguous to the roots of the plants from the surrounding ground; and means for relatively removing the plants from the body of root-contiguous earth, including means for lifting the plants in relation to the ground, and means for agitating the body of root-contiguous earth when it is severed from the ground, so as to loosen the earth and reduce its cohesion with respect to the roots, before the plants are lifted in relation to the ground. The apparatus is thus able to harvest the plants without undue damage to the roots. In addition, damage to the stems is minimized through the use of a special elastomer-faced belt lift mechanism as part of the lift means; and a rapid harvesting rate is maintained through the use of a special apparatus and technique for collecting and discharging the plants from the lift mechanism in a containerized condition.

    Abstract translation: 该装置包括用于从邻近地面切断与植物根部相邻的地球体的装置; 以及用于相对地从根连接的土体的主体中移除植物的装置,包括用于相对于地面提升植物的装置,以及用于当从地面上切断根部邻接的地球的主体时, 在植物相对于地面被提升之前,松开地球并减少其对根的凝聚力。 因此,该装置能够收获植物而不会对根造成不必要的损害。 此外,通过使用特殊的面向弹性体的皮带提升机构作为提升装置的一部分,使杆的损伤最小化; 并且通过使用用于在集装箱状态下从升降机构收集和排出植物的特殊装置和技术来保持快速收获率。
